    How can someone know such an obscure game and name it in less than two minutes is a mystery to me.

    Sinclair Infoseek is, in fact, boozie's mind...

    Right here we go, somebody will know this I'm sure, but it isn't obvious at all :D

    All I can say is that it's a text adventure...

    I played a adventure game back in the 80's called Werner's Quest, but I do not think it is that. (the CSS reference)

    And it's definately not a Spanish game... ;)

    As a webmaster, I can assure you that it's not CSS, it's W3C a bunch of *******.

    Could be a game from one of the past CSSCGCs, but I can't be arsed to rummage through that pile of dog poo. (May you use the word "poo" in this forum?)

    I'll give you a couple of clues, yes it is a text adventure, and no it's not a CGC entry.

    I suspect the CSS mentioned in the text has nothing to do with comp.sys.sinclair.

    Moreover, is that a location at the beginning, middle or end of the adventure, if we may know it?

    You appear to have got away with it...
    I wanna tell you a story 'bout a woman I know...

    It's near the start, iinfact it's the first location I think, but you have to do something to actually be able to read the description for the first location (so technically it's the second location ;)).

    One quite unusual thing about this adventure is that it has two different character sets. The first two words are in a more soft font and the phrase is written in a "harder", more edgy font. A bit futuristic, something in space?

    I have no real idea of the game, but two fonts were not common.

    It might also be something like:

    > ASK WERNER ABOUT CSS

    and then the result arrives, perhaps always the same.

    Ok, so the game in question is ... "The Way of the Exploding T*ts", an adult text adventure from 1988!

    WOS link to the (just somewhat) NSFW game.

    It also has an italic font from the link below. Does it stop at three? I've never played that game.

    I have actually never played it either, just found it for the challenge. Did PAW support multiple fonts? Or GAC? I have never seen several fonts in QUILL games.

    (I will by the way post the next screen shot challenge soon.)
